Replace the State's Welfare Agencies with a $12,000 Basic Income Guarantee

The many welfare agencies would be replaced with a single cash transfer. The tax code would be designed to absorb the BIG payments of those that aren't in Poverty. The BIG would only go to current residents who lived in the state for many years. The $12,000 BIG purposely isn't a living income to incentivize people to work.

Why is this important?

A BIG would reduce the size of government and directly fight income inequality. The plan would be similar to the ones Milton Friedman, Henry George, and Friedrich Hayek advocated.
